Our to-go order was wrong and we only received one container of fried rice when we ordered two.. If you can call white rice with barely any egg in it fried rice.. It felt like we were eating D+ food at best. Start trying harder before you are out of business.
Well, The Fortune Cookie Was Good……. The other day, my oldest brother and I, after much driving around in Corvallis, decided upon the Blue Sky Chinese Restaurant. In my opinion, good Chinese food is hard to come by, so I’m always skeptical about what I’ll walk into. The atmosphere is gorgeous. The pictures are beautiful, the paint job is good and they actually play Chinese music! My brother and I always talk about how most of them play country or some other form of music that doesn’t fit the restaurant. It seemed promising! At least, until we got to the booth. The seats were high-backed which is awesome, but my sandals kept sticking to the floor. At one point (as my brother mentioned in his review) I lost my flip-flop. Yes, I couldn’t find it. Between my fear of touching the ground with my bare foot and not wanting to kick my brother, it was gone for a good 2 minutes. Well, I was looking for a good Lo Mein, but unfortunately, it was nonexistent in the restaurant. I looked over the menu more and made a last minute decision. Without taking heed to my brother’s many, many past warnings, I ordered Sweet and Sour Chicken and Egg Flower Soup. The Egg Flower Soup was……strange. It had tomato and celery in it, which is definitely not what I’m used to. The celery was kind of overpowering because the taste was so strong, but after a few spoon-fulls, I got used to it. Now, when I go to a Chinese restaurant and order Sweet and Sour chicken, I expect it to be juicy chicken that’s freshly deep fried with enough sauce that you can taste it, but not so much that you need to throw a life ring out to the pieces of chicken. I don’t want what tasted like it was battered and deep fried 40 times and left to sit under a heat lamp 3 days. It was 95% breading, 2% chicken, and 3% sauce. The first bite I took was all breading, so needless to say, I didn’t like it. I ate about 3 pieces and couldn’t do it anymore. The service is friendly and the restaurant itself is nice, but I give a thumbs down to the food. After this experience, I wouldn’t go back. I might be willing to try something else at a later date, but I don’t have high hopes in this place.
Blue Skies Smiling at Me. But its not a nice smile, more like a creepy smile that you receive from a crazy person on the street right after he informs you that he lost his spaceship. I feel like Blue Sky could have it goin on with a little work. (or maybe a lot of work) Im not really sure where to begin. First the positive. Blue Sky is in a NICE building complete with: high backed booths, nice lighting, large windows, and friendly staff. Unfortunecookietly the bad outweighs the good. My little sister and I (whom I think will also be writing a review) were taken to a booth and given water, tea, and menus. The floor was so sticky under our booth that my sister literally lost her flip flop at one point (no joke). The lunch menu is a series of pretty Americanized dishes for around $6.50 each. Americanized Chinese food has its place and I am certainly not one to turn my nose up for the sake of authenticity, providing that it is of good quality. Hunan Chicken was my dish of choice while my sister ordered, much against my advise, the sweet and sour chicken. WARNING: YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ A SHORT SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN RANT! Sweet and Sour Chicken is one of the MOST easily messed up dishes on earth. Why, oh why do restaurants insist on smearing thick, gelatinous, over dyed sauce on usually heavily breaded chicken?! I just dont get it! It can be made well (though I can only bring one to mind) so why not make it well?! *labored breathing* AND FURTHER MORE… I have digressed…So our dishes arrive and my Hunan Chicken, which I ordered extra hot, looked wonderful! Sadly the taste fell well short of its appearance. Extra Spicy must have translated as, drench it in three cups of fire-oil. It was so oily that, providing the pieces were smaller, I would not have even had to chew. My sister said that her SASC was some of the worst she had ever ordered; after tasting it I would have to agree. Now would be a good time to observe the cross-section photo I took of one of her pieces of chicken… see that little spot toward the top? Thats meat! See all the rest? That breading!Friends, there are MUCH better options in town! I suggest that you dont bother giving em a taste!
Consistantly poor service and food. They are the only Chinese place in town that delivers, but I still won’t order from them again. In the past year, I’ve tried to order from them multiple times during their delivery hours of 5:30-8:30 PM. Most of the times, they didn’t answer the phone, even after a few tries over 15 minutes. Of the 2 or 3 times they did answer, service was very slow- 90 minutes+ and the food was bad enough I couldn’t eat half of it, even though I’d paid $20+. Some things I remember:Beef sticks- not only extremely dry and chewy, the meat actually tasted old. I didn’t finish it, because it was so questionable.Crab rangu- both times I ordered, it was rubbery, not crisp (microwaved?).Chicken wings- dry meat, unappealing sauce; inedibleLemon chicken- dry meat, rubbery breading and the sauce was like a sugary glaze; barely edible, I threw out the leftoversFried shrimp- rubbery breadingEgg rolls- the only thing that could be called average restaurant quality and even then, still mediocre.
Terrible. Don’t waste your time, especially if you’re hungry…service is unbelievably slow.
Back in the day when they were on Kings this place rocked. Portion size and quality have gone downhill since they moved.
I wanted to like this place…. Worst chinese food I’ve ever had. I ordered mongolian beef and szechuan chicken; it showed up 45 minutes late, both dishes were cold. The mongolian beef was absolutely awful, you’d think it would be a hard dish to mess up, but they managed to; it didn’t have a single green onion in it, the beef was tough and looked like something I wouldn’t even feed to my dog, it was just a sloppy mess of onions and weird meat soaking in orange grease. The szechuan chick I had low expectations for, most places don’t pull it off well, but this place had the worst I’ve ever had; it was a few chicken scraps soaked in dough and deep fried. I order it spicy and there wasn’t a single szechuan pepper in it, it had no seasoning what so ever, it looked like they threw red food coloring into the batter… if you end up deciding to try this place, which I would advise not to, avoid the szechuan chicken and mongolian beef at all costs.I made an account here for the sole purpose of reviewing this place. It was that bad.
